AntiBacterias™ glass by AGC Flat Glass Europe contains silver ions, which according to the manufacturer, eliminate 99.9% of bacteria that is deposited on its surface. In addition, this impedes fungus growth. These characteristics permit the installation of glass in areas with strict hygienic requirements. The patented fabrication system consists of the deposition of silver ions in the upper layers of the glass. When they come in contact with bacteria the ions block the bacteria's metabolism and interrupt their reproduction mechanism, provoking their destruction. The antibacterial effect of the glass is continuous, especially in warm and humid conditions, which are factors that contribute to the development of bacteria and fungus.AntiBacterias™ glass is available in three versions: Planibel AB (clear glass), Lacobel AB (enamelled glass in 25 standard colours) and Mirox AB (mirrored glass). The glass is resistant to cleaning products used in healthcare facilities.
